Abstract

In the traditional power system, power plants are responsible for regulating power flow to meet load demand. However, with the increasing use of dispersed renewable energy sources, the power flow is becoming more complex and unidirectional. This can lead to voltage instability and poor power quality for critical loads. To address these issues, distributed control techniques are being developed to manage the power flow from renewable energy sources. This paper presents a review of the current state of distributed control techniques for renewable energy integration in power systems. Various approaches are discussed, including back-to-back electric springs, bidirectional buck-boost converters, and distributed control for electric water heaters. The paper also discusses the use of control techniques for single-phase grid-connected renewable converters with minimal energy storage, as well as the use of hysteresis band current controllers for inverter switching actions. The objective of this study is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the current research in distributed control techniques for renewable energy integration in power systems. The distribution network will be connected to a sizeable number of them near to the loads. Since dispersed renewable sources cannot be dispatched, it is impossible to estimate the entire instantaneous power output from these sources. It is anticipated that the ac power supply would become dynamically unstable when intermittent renewable energy sources are used more often. It could make power quality poorer for crucial loads.
